logixxxx Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Edge Drive (ie. Me and some other people) have released Horizon Blogging Software version 1.0! Woot. In this release it contains some new features, a brand new skinning engine, & a totally new (and sexy?) administrative control panel. Well, I know a lot of you are DIE-HARD WordPress fans, but that's okay All I ask is for you to try Horizon Blogging Software for a few days, if you don't like it, make a suggestion!

php_tom Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Seems ok.. you might fix the following: If you click the calendar: Error Message: HBS couldn't find the calevents table. If you cannot fix the problem, please go to the Edge Drive Community by clicking here. Once there, be sure to include the error which is stated below. Table 'scottcone-1.versionone_calevents' doesn't exist And XSS if you make a comment with url: javascript:alert('hacked!')

Fadion Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 When im clicking a user's name on the comments it is supposed to open a website, but your window.location='blah blah' isnt working. It opens a new page and is just printing that line. Im on IE 7.

logixxxx Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 That's because it isn't a "real" website address. I'll get it so it requires it to have a TLD (ex. .com/.net) at the end of it so that won't happen. Otherwise, if you typed a real website address (such as google.com) you would be able to click it. Thanks though, I'll start working on it! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63845-horizon-blogging-software-100/#findComment-319960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadion Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Instead of using javascript, u could just use html <a href="site" target="_blank">, so u dont care very much if the url is valid (anyway u need that validation). The script looks good though, but as i see things more from the perspective of a designer then coder, id say that if thats the default template, it may need some touches.

logixxxx Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Really? Wow. We spent quite a time designing that. It's 99.9% CSS and uses around 1 image for an effect. What do you think should be tweaked? If you're interested, we do have a skinning engine that makes it easy to make a skin, if you are interested.

php_tom Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Can anybody find any other XSS hacks? There's still this one: javascript:alert('hacked!'); in the url field of a comment. I would fix this by 1) disallowing single and double quotes in form fields (except maybe the comment itself) 2) filtering the word javascript from form fields 3) putting a length limit on name and url (maybe 18 chars for name, 40 chars for url) 4) testing that the url has 'http' in it Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63845-horizon-blogging-software-100/#findComment-320330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think should be tweaked? If you're interested, we do have a skinning engine that makes it easy to make a skin, if you are interested. Using CSS doesnt mean u dont have to use images. Right now the template is pretty basic, consisting of only 5 color variations (including text colors) and some basic shapes. Actually im not that free to create a design for u, but im sure u can find someone who'd be glad to create smth fancy.

php_tom Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 It should, or just disallow these chars (maybe others too): " ' ; ( ) [ ] < > and maybe the word javascript (although what if my web site is www.javascriptgod.com or something). HTMLentities is probably easier. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63845-horizon-blogging-software-100/#findComment-324709 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Well, you miss an opening <html> tag and a DOCTYPE declaration. Also, you have content after your closing </html> (the number of seconds it took to generate the page I guess (put it in an HTML comment).

keeB Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 My biggest question is this: What does Horizon offer than I cannot get with something like WordPress?

logixxxx Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 Excellent question. I've been asked this before... One thing is our customized .htaccess file which blocks many spiders/offline browsers from accessing your blog which will minimize spam. Second, our WYSIWYG editor is much more "advanced(? is that the right word)" than WordPress' which allows for more "customized" postings. I'm trying to think of things I haven't posted before on this subject. You'll have to excuse me, I'm really tired from Soccer this week. Tommorow I'll post some more. ;-) How about this? I challenge you to download & install Horizon Blogging Software and use it (it doesn't have to be your primary blog), but just test it out. Then, you can have you're opinion on how you like it. It hopefully will be good. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63845-horizon-blogging-software-100/#findComment-327316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
